I’m on an LV plan-builder plan with added endurance workouts via train-now. I mostly have 60 mins for a workout which is fine but occasionally I have more. The issue I have is inside I need a break around the 60 -75 minute mark for numb bits to be not numb and sore bits calming down. Working with A…

I agree with the need for a proper bike fit. One thing I always do when inside is, in between intervals or every 20ish minutes of an endurance ride. I do some on the bike stretches, for example Just standing up and stretching out my calf muscles, and this other sort of hip flexor stretch. I always…

If your saddle works OK when riding outdoors it isn’t the first thing I would address. Z2 rides indoor are a challenge and probably the main reason that the craze about rocker plates has caught on so rapidly. Stand up frequently, like every 5-10 minutes, already early in the ride; when the tenderne…
